because you're using a piece of software made by the same idiot that came up with javascript in two weeks.
Who is a right wing authoritarian.

Because brave search cannot tell you apart from the thousands of other android devices. Congratulations, you are anonymous (to brave search who specifically doesn’t try that hard)

Do you use a vpn? I find it get a ton more captchas in general when services detect I'm on a personal anonymous vpn

What mobile provider are you using? I know that T-Mobile IP addresses tend to get me a lot of captchas. And that's related to their use of CGNAT, which means that the server sees many different identifying characteristics all coming from a single IP address. Also, geoip location of systems is really unreliable for T-Mobile IPs.

It could be because you are switching between WiFi and mobile data or are using a VPN.
